AnyBook Classic 2: Publishing Business

AnyBook Professional Standard is a part of the award winning AnyBook family of shareware for small and self-publishers. Its foundation rests on AnyBook Basic, a software program which is highly regarded in both the publishing and software worlds. Like the Basic Edition, it generates invoices and billing statements, keeps track of inventory, handles book returns, produces sales reports, records customer payments, tracks consignment items, and creates customer mailing lists. But the Professional Edition also provides greater functionality and versatility than the Basic version. It has larger field sizes for customer names and addresses. It includes a Customer Contact Manager which can be used to write notes and keep track of customer names--or the names of individuals and departments within a corporate business--along with phone numbers, email addresses, etc. It will automatically start your email program or Internet browser should you need to write a customer a note or visit their website.

The Professional Standard version includes additional fields on the Main Invoice Screen including the customer's phone number and an invoice code which can be used to provide a more refined breakdown of sales data. It will produce bank deposit reports, and has a back order processor and a weight calculator which will figure the total weight of an order. It will keep track of shipping expenses including those which are charged and those which are not charged to the customer. It also has an export feature which allows you to export invoice and sales data to other programs. The export feature also allows you to export credit card information to a third party credit card processing program. This is a 16-bit program. See AnyBook Professional for 32-bit.
